Our guided running tours are a high-energy journey through the city’s most iconic landmarks—from the storied steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (yes, you will run up them like Rocky!) to the cobblestone alleys of Old City, past the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and through the heart of America’s birthplace. You’ll break a sweat while soaking in 300 years of revolutionary history and local flavor.

Move through the city, connect with its heartbeat, and see why fitness never felt so educational.
PHILADELPHIA FEATURED TOURS
The SCHEDULED RUNNING TOUR is our version of the social running experience. These 4 MILE TOURS are not about pace but about coming together with other runners to experience Philadelphia doing something we all love to do.

Explore the homes, meeting places, and final resting sites of legendary statesmen. Pass by colonial-era pubs, historic churches, and Elfreth’s Alley — the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the United States.

This route showcases Philly’s most picturesque paths along the banks of the Schuylkill River — lovingly known as the city’s “Hidden River.” Along the way, we’ll pass the elegant Fairmount Water Works, the historic Boathouse Row, and some of the city’s most treasured art institutions.
Of course, no tour is complete without spreading the love at the iconic LOVE sculpture before that final exhilarating push up the steps. Whether you're chasing a personal best or just here for the vibes, this run delivers beauty, grit, and a true Philly spirit.
These non-traditional yoga experiences combine the best of both worlds: a guided historical walking tour through Philadelphia and moments of mindful movement along the way.

COMING SOON
‘TRAILS’ OF THE REVOLUTION - $55
Duration: 2+ hours | Distance: 4.1 miles | Start/End: Yard’s Brewing
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin may or may not have said it, but one thing’s for sure — he, along with fellow Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, definitely loved their brews.
Join us for a spirited run through the heart of historic Philadelphia, as we trace the footsteps — and bar tabs — of the Revolution’s original rebels. We’ll visit the homes, workplaces, and secret meeting spots of these iconic leaders, including the taverns where independence was whispered over ales.
Our route ends back at Yards Brewing Co., where history comes to life in a glass. Raise a pint from their “Ales of the Revolution” series — featuring authentic recipes inspired by the Founders themselves — and toast to liberty, grit, and great beer.
Each Running Tour is led at a casual pace with designated stops along the way. Group size varies from tour to tour and is dependent on registrations. We will provide directions to the meeting location, and runners are responsible for arriving on time.
